Joe Nuxhall is the lefty on some of the radio broadcasts. Chris Welsh is the lefty on the television broadcasts. Nuxy is the famous one.

Heading to the home half of the 5th, I'd say our best hope for a winning season is for someone in the Diamond Club to get Tony Womack to flip them off.

1.) Jason LaRue up first, hits a high fly ball -- deep and far -- and a DINGER! Krivsky from the owner's box: "Way to up that trade value, son!" 6-3 Twinks

2.) Javier Valentin ends the day for Bronson Arroyo (5IP, 7H, 6R, 5ER -- a robust 9.00 ERA for the day. But, on the plus side, only 1 HR). Marty pimps George Mason University a little bit, which is funny because GMU is the school that guys that can't get into UVA or JMU go to. Valentin bounces out for the 1st out.

3.) Tony Womack pops out, because that's what he does best: Make outs, and suck in the field. 2 outs.

4.) Lopez lines out. Womack attempts to give him a few pointers in the dugout, and Lopez (thankfully) puts his fingers in his ears and yells "NAH NAH, I'm not listening!"

FYI - Announcers talking about David Ross. He's out of options.
I don't see him being exposed on waivers at this point. Besides other teams looking for catching, I know the Dodgers would take him back in a hot minute.

David Weathers takes over in the 6th. Javier Valetin takes over behind the dish, LaRue heads back to the clubhouse to work on his Madden Football skills.

1.) Bartlett up first, though how he finds time to take BP while running the nation is beyond me. Weathers, intimidated by his presdential presence, walks him on 4 straight pitches.

2.) Steve Tollison pinch hits for the pitcher and goes to a full count. Weathers punches him out, and then, for an extra "screw you" to the Twins, Valentin picks Bartlett off first. Strike 'em out, throw 'em out. Bartlett back to the Santos campaign headquarters. 2 outs.

3.) Tyner up next. Marty and Steve discuss trading potential of catchers. I like when they both are on the mic, the game flows a lot more smoothly than when one hits the buffet line and leaves a 1 man booth. Tyner lines out, and makes it a 1-2-3 inning.
